MODERATORS
I would take the weekend off.
This is what my prescriber recommends with stimulants. They are very helpful for adhd, but hopefully not required for all functionality. From what I understand, if that seems to be the case, a stimulant will be paired with and anti-anxiety or anti-depressant for daily use to, hopefully, decrease the need for stimulants.
For myself, taking a day or two off seems to help the efficacy of the stimulants. I'm not able to take vyvanse, as it ended up giving me terrible anxiety, but that will happen for some. I'm doing well on concerta instead, but the same principle applies.
